<p>I mean, I could accept "psionics is psionics, occult is occult, two totally different systems altogether", but this "none of the decision-makers like this mechanics system regardless of if it's the way it's always been done or not and we're using a new way of covering the same area in a totally different way mechanically" is, at least from a certain point of view, kind of the whole reason Pathfinder exists as its own game.</p>

It's got a great little section on variant rules to beef up PfRPG giants so they aren't quite what your players might be expecting, including a rule for hurling boulders into a given square as attacks vs. AC 5, rather than as regular ranged attacks,which most giants suck at.
<p>Seriously, for a (sub)type of monsters that every player has seen or fought against time and again like good old giants, a bit of Mythic can be the thing that makes you think twice about them just being old and boring. You never have to deal with Mythic PCs unless you want to, but you can always use Mythic rules against your players...</p>Valantrix1 wrote:I really hope you create a feat in the upcoming AP to fix a giants horrible aim with rocks.

<p>But by process of elimination, we know we need an arcane caster, but the fourth could be almost anyone. When was the last time we saw Ezren in an AP, anyway? He'd be my guess for that Arcane spot. Harsk is skill/combat, Imrijka is divine/skill, so maybe a divine/combat specialist? Oloch would have made for a great fit here, but if ACG Iconics aren't eligible, you could make a case for Seelah, even if she's getting a bit overused. Maybe Seltiyel too?</p>It would be nice if they announced the Iconics for each AP when they announce the AP itself as well.
